Meet upon arrival at KKIA and drive overland to Kinabalu Park Headquarters on a 2 hours drive. The park is known for its diverse range of flora and fauna and the majestic Mount Kinabalu.

On the way, we will make a stop at the local market of Pekan Nabalu. At the park, the Mountain Garden guided walk provides an informative overview of the Kinabalu Park.
